That is interesting, in your user manual (beginning pg 55) Dell does not give that as a troubleshooting code, is it possible it's the #1 led that's lit and 2,3, & 4 are off? I did find one thread which had the same light combination and in that case it was bad capacitors on the motherboard so you might want to take a look at your motherboard, checking for swollen or leaky capacitors (which would indicate a fault). Capacitors are one of the few things on a motherboard which can be replaced if one is adept at soldering.
If you don't have it bookmarked already, your documentation is here http://www.dell.com/support/Manuals/us/en/04/Product/xps-dxg

Thank You I will take a look at that. It is definately 1,2,3, out and 4 on. Also The only way to shut it down now is to unplug it and when it is plugged in there is a yellow light on the motherboard. The motherboard in only about three months old,.

I forgot to mention that before it went down after putting in the new power supply it would not boot up and it said low battery and I replaced the little 2032 and that did not change anything it still said that.

What is the make and model of the power supply in there now?

As dell is propriatory I had to go with Dells n650ab d. Not easy to find.

so far I found this http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/255446-28-dell-dead - doesn't look good, I hate to bring the bad news, will keep looking.

Edit - failed capacitors on the motherboard check this thread http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3515/p/19367563/19833291.aspx

Since the back diagnostic lights aren't helpful here - this is Dell's solutions to a steady amber light from page 49 of your owners manual
"IF THE POWER LIGHT IS STEADY AMBER — A device might be malfunctioning or incorrectly installed.
• Ensure that the processor power cable is securely connected to the system board power connector
(POWER12V) (see "System Board Components" on page 78).
• Remove and then reinstall the memory modules (see "Memory" on page 79).
• Remove and then reinstall any cards (see "Removing PCI and PCI Express Cards" on page 89).
• Remove and then reinstall the graphics card, if applicable (see "Removing PCI and PCI Express Cards"
on page 89)."
